Friday a strong Pacific storm closes in and showers will break out over western and northern sections during the day. Snow levels will start off high about 8,000′ but drop into Saturday.

The metro area will mainly see rain showers late Friday and Saturday. They will be scattered though. The west slopes of the northern mountains will pick up most of the snow. 6″+ will be likely there.
